My two dears at home complaining since forever (really forever!)
about the old holey scraps that I use as nightgowns. Not a pretty
sight at breakfast. But at night it's dark and I prefer comfort. But
the grumbling grew louder, so I have sewn a new nightgown in no time
at all and replaces the oldest nightdress. The knit-fabric was lying
around for years, funnily exactly for the purpose to sew a new
nightgown for me. Only I didn't want to because my old ones were just
so cuddly. Purchased nightgowns are never the way I want them, they
are all too short.
So my heave-ho method was that I put my old nightgown on the
fabric and cut around it. Therefore, it is a bit wide but that
doesn't bother me. I did not even change the colors of thread in my
serger, they fit fortunately, approximately. Now I wear it for a few nights and it is sooo comfortable. It's almost floor-length, not too
tight around the neck and above all I like long sleeves, where you
can hide your hands. Perfect! *bliss*. And my two dears are pleased
too. The fabric was so cheap that I bought alot of it. Therefore
there is enough for a shirt or so for my girlie. Perhaps a nightgown
too. Matching outfits, hehe :)
